As usual, a rest day before the big event. We drove over to Villedieu les Poeles, where we left the car in a supermarket car park and walked into town. The town is full of touristy nick-nack shops, much of it copper pots and pans. However, we did visit the bell foundry museum. This was very interesting. The tour looked like it was pretty good, but it was of limited use to us given it was in French, and well beyond our halting capability in that language.
We then wandered back to a creperie, where we has excellent crepes and quaffed some equally excellent cider. While we were in the creperie a heavy rain shower blew in. We went back to the car, via the supermarket, then returned to the house, where they'd not had any rain.
Later in the afternoon, we popped out on the TT bikes for a last minute check that everything was working well. I found a smallish cut in my rear tyre but decided it would be OK.
